There are pictures, personal objects, movies, reports and historical products showing how one of the biggest personalities of the 20th century thought and created. The inspiration for the exhibit came from a show on the Apple creator held in Italy; however, it has been implemented in a totally original way in Brazil. Presented by the Ministry of Culture and Bradesco, Steve Jobs, the Visionary is also sponsored by Cielo with support from Superga. Executed by the Fullbrand Italian-Brazilian agency with co-execution by the MIS.

Moana doesn’t like to be called a Princess; she just says she is the “chief’s daughter.” But she doesn’t shirk her responsibility. Her village is suffering from a terrible curse that directly affects the land and the sea. With scarce fruit and fish, the fearless daughter of the chief decides to cross the reefs and save her land. And Moana is chosen by the sea to go after the demigod Maui, who stole Earth’s heart and triggered the curse. To do this, she has to cross the ocean and get Maui to return Earth’s heart; only then will her people be saved. A mega production where the stage becomes an ocean of emotions. With musical numbers, comedic characters and lots of adventure.
